The village

A village in Menchukha valley in the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, India.

I have posted this photo earlier but many new friends have joned me since then and I wanted to share this with them.:-)

 

Menchukha is a very remote and picturesque valley situated at around 6000 feet above sea level in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India.The Yargyapchu River flows through this serene and beautiful valley.The name Menchukha means "medicinal water of snow" Men - medicine ,chu - water and kha - snow.The valley is home to the Adi and Memba tribes and the population is mainly Buddhist.

We spent a couple of days here sometime in November 2019 and most of the time the sky was overcast.This is a very remote area and involves two days travel over very bad roads from the nearest airport so it is still (thankfully) relatively untouched.
